Greetings!

After decades of leading the industry in the areas of computing recommendations, Logical Increments is moving in a bold leap forward by entering the hardware market. With all the pomp and flair that we know we think we deserve, we proudly present…

The Logical ‘increments Phone! (abbreviated L’iPhone)

The Logical ‘increments Phone, or L’iPhone, is the best, greatest, most important, most disruptive, most intuitively magical product with rounded corners to hit the glass shelves, ever.

PC Build Success Story: George’s Gaming PC

After answering a couple of questions for one of our readers named George concerning a prospective midrange (R3 1300X and GTX 1050 Ti) gaming PC build last month, he was generous enough to share not only some photos of his finished build, but also some advice for those looking to build similar machines!

Logical Increments Ryzen APU Update 2018

Yes, this update is late. But you know what they say: “Better…”

AMD released two new Ryzen-based APUs for the AM4 socket. They are both targeted at budget gamers who want to game for cheap, and they are both excellent in that regard.

Building a PC for Final Fantasy XV

At this point I’m pretty sure Final Fantasy fans are used to the delays that come with a PC release for a Final Fantasy game, yet in this case that frustration can finally be washed away with hype: Final Fantasy XV for PC is here! Now let’s get to the builds!

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G vs. Intel and Nvidia

Last year was an amazing one for AMD, with the company releasing a slew of extremely successful new CPUs based on the Zen architecture. This year is getting off to a decent start as well—with a new line of Ryzen CPUs with integrated Vega graphics processors (the R3 2200G and R5 2400G) being launched earlier this week. In this article, we will look at how well these freshly released processors fare against Intel’s integrated graphics, Nvidia’s low-budget GT 1030, and AMD’s own earlier APU integrated graphics.

GPU Pricing Insanity: What Will Logical Increments Do?

After some very brief relief around the 2017 holidays, graphics card prices continue on the path of going absolutely insane.

We had a cryptocoin-induced inflation back in late 2013, but it was somewhat mild, and only lasted a couple of months. We had a second inflation in 2017, where the price hikes were higher, and lasted more than half a year. When this ended in December 2017, I thought: “Thank goodness that is over. Nothing could have been as bad as that!”

I was so naive, so wrong.

In short, there is not much we can do about graphics cards prices other than continue to recommend the best graphics cards at each price point. However, we want to be realistic about how bad the situation has gotten.

2018 Graphics Cards Pricing Update: Current Prices vs. Original Retail Price

A little under 6 months ago, I wrote an article about the prices and stock shortage of graphics cards and the causes of that increase. Today, I take a look at what has been done by the manufacturers and retailers in this time, as well as what still needs to be done.
